Chapter 241 The Authority of Mythical Signs
What a huge fluttering moth!
Xue Youyou looked up at the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly, which had evolved to its ultimate form, a hint of cunning flashing in her eyes as she devised a plan.
Actually, the simplest way to defeat the opponent is to capture them directly and refine them using the supernatural power of Snow Dye.
The Nine-Turn White Moon Immortal Silkworm, which was previously in the form of a large, fat silkworm, was still too small. To the Divine Era Snow Woman, it was no different from a firefly. It was difficult to even look at it, let alone catch it.
And now, the size of the opponent after its evolution is just right.
Having received instructions from Yuki Yuuyou, the Shindai Yuki-onna narrowed her eyes slightly, a cold light gleaming deep within her snow-white pupils.
It didn't rush to attack, but instead, like a hajime before a hunt, it restrained its aura and waited for the right moment.
Just then, the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly's second talent, the ability to foresee the future, was activated without warning.
In an instant, a scene exploded in the minds of Mutsuki and Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly: the pure white hand of the Goddess of the Ages precisely grasped the wings of the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly, and then an indescribable whiteness spread from the point of contact, devouring the fairy butterfly's entire body like a plague, transforming it inch by inch into some kind of strange and holy work of art.
The scene was so clear that you could see the despair reflected in the eyes of the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly.
The ten-winged white moon fairy butterfly's flapping wings suddenly stopped, as if something had tripped up its rhythm.
It was this momentary pause that allowed the Snow Woman of the Goddess of the Goddess to capture it.
Suddenly, it reached out, its five fingers piercing the air, aiming straight for the edge of the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly's wing, moving so fast it was almost invisible.
However, the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly, having already received a warning, merely flapped its wings, and its enormous body drifted away like a leaf swept up by the autumn wind.
The Snow Woman's seemingly sure-fire hand barely grazed the edge of her wing, only managing to grab a handful of cold air.
It was a small sneak attack, happening in the blink of an eye, but Mutsuki's back was already soaked with cold sweat.
Because she knew that if she had been caught just now, the outcome would probably have already been decided.
Fortunately, the foresight was activated at the crucial moment, which narrowly saved them from disaster.
Mutsuki raised her hand and wiped the cold sweat from her forehead. When her fingers touched her skin, she could feel a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.
She took a deep breath and finally put away all her contempt for Xue Youyou.
Although the other party appeared carefree and cheerful on the surface, like an innocent young girl, she was actually secretly preparing to deliver a fatal blow at any moment.
Beneath that harmless smile lies a treacherous and cunning heart.
As for herself, she actually experienced a brief moment of relaxation because the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly evolved and its size caught up with the Divine Era Snow Woman.
That illusion of "numerical overtaking" almost cost her her life.
Xue Youyou only said she wouldn't kill her, but when the time comes to decide the outcome, who can say for sure?
That statement should never be taken seriously from the beginning.
She had to admit that because of Xue Youyou's casual promise not to kill at the beginning, she had become somewhat childish, as if she had been led into a game of make-believe, forgetting that this was a battlefield where it was a matter of life and death.
Now that I think about it carefully, it was probably all a conspiracy by the woman in front of me.
How terrifying is this persuasive rhetoric?
A single, casual remark planted a seed of complacency in her heart.
It's likely that the reason her teammates didn't retreat immediately was all orchestrated by her, to create this whole scene and leave a loophole in her mind.
This woman's deep scheming is truly rare, both in ancient and modern times.
Every word and every seemingly casual action could be a carefully designed trap.
In the blink of an eye, Mutsuki's expression changed repeatedly before finally settling on an unprecedentedly solemn one.
She looked at Yuki Yuuyu, who was pouting slightly and showing regret because the Snow Woman's sneak attack had failed, and took a deep breath, as if to suppress all her distracting thoughts into the deepest part of her heart.
"I never imagined that I would be led by the nose by you from the very beginning, causing me to lose myself without even realizing it."
"But now I know!"
Mutsuki solemnly placed her right hand on her chest, her gaze piercing, heavy with the weight of a sudden realization, and declared, as if making a vow, word by word: "You are indeed a formidable opponent. Therefore, I will no longer harbor any contempt or mercy towards you. From this moment on, I will spare no effort and do everything in my power to kill you!"
The voice carried a resolute quality, as if cutting through confusion.
Xue Youyou was stunned.
She blinked, looking somewhat bewildered.
How exactly does Mutsuki's brain work to be able to say those words?
Why have I been leading her by the nose all this time?
She's lost herself? How come I didn't even notice?
The other party's attitude suddenly made a complete 180-degree turn, as if they had attained enlightenment in Longchang.
I'm totally obsessed.
However, Xue Youyou tilted her head and thought for a moment, then guessed something, smiling with her eyes crinkling: "Did you just foresee your defeat using your future perception?"
"You're allowed to surrender now~"
The last syllable rose in pitch, carrying a hint of playful sweetness.
Mutsuki didn't respond immediately to Xue Youyou's trash talk this time.
She simply looked at him quietly, her eyes no longer showing the wavering and restlessness she had before.
Because she knew that this was all part of the cunning woman's tactics.
Every lighthearted joke, every seemingly harmless laugh, is a carefully orchestrated scheme.
However, through this battle that had not yet truly begun, through that near-fatal sneak attack, she did understand one very important point—
Ordinary pets, even the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly, which stands at the pinnacle of mortal pets, has absorbed a massive amount of divine beast Taiyin essence, and has been cultivated to its extreme, still find it difficult to contend with the three pets that have transcended the path of evolution.
Even if the opponent is just a half-baked Mythical Beast, not a true Mythical Beast, it can still suppress a perfect ultimate form like the Ten-Winged White Moon Fairy Butterfly, which is of a higher level.
Having personally experienced this gap, Mutsuki truly understood just how powerful the Moon Goddess, whom Taiyin revered, and the legendary Beastmaster who cultivated the Dream Beast, really was.
That's something to look forward to!
Mutsuki had promised Taiyin that, no matter what, she would bring the power of that Moon Goddess back to this world.
Therefore, all obstacles must be cleared away!
If evolving to the ultimate form isn't enough, then just get bigger and stronger!
Mutsuki's eyes regained their sparkle as she looked at Yuki Yuu: "What a pathetic fellow. I've already seen your potential, but you don't seem to realize that you're about to be defeated by me."
"And this is precisely the difference between us as beast tamers!"
